2020-08-08Use comma-separated patterns in find & replace pane's "Filter" field.mitchell
2020-08-08Updated find & replace pane key bindings.mitchell
In the GUI, Enter and Shift+Enter invoke Find Next and Find Prev, respectively. In the terminal, Up, Down, and Tab toggle between buttons more consistently; removed Shift-Tab binding. Also fixed entry drawing issue with Tab.
2020-08-04Try to avoid using `lexer` as a string, as it overshadows the `lexer` module.mitchell
2020-08-03Updated to latest Scintilla hg to get `lexer.fold_consecutive_lines()`.mitchell
2020-07-26Initial revision of manual after recent read-through.mitchell
A lot more work is needed.
2020-07-18Updated to latest Scintilla for new `lexer.fold*` API.mitchell
This replaces the need for `view.property['fold*'] = ...`
2020-07-16Renamed `events.AUTO_C_CANCELLED` to `events.AUTO_C_CANCELED`.mitchell
Australian English to American English.
2020-07-14Renamed `textadept.editing.block_comment()` to `toggle_comment()`.mitchell
2020-07-13Note that `Esc` clears word highlighting.mitchell
2020-07-13Auto-highlight all occurrences of selected words and find results.mitchell
This supercedes `textadept.editing.highlight_word()`, which has been removed. Changed the color of word highlights in themes.
2020-07-12Read from system `LUA_PATH` and `LUA_CPATH` instead of custom env vars.mitchell
Textadept's paths have higher priority anyway.
2020-07-12Be more consistent with "key sequences", "key commands", and "key bindings".mitchell
Sequences are key strings, commands are Lua functions, and bindings are commands assigned to sequences.
2020-07-07Added `lexer.colors` and `lexer.styles` and updated themes to utilize them.mitchell
This allows for a more Lua table-oriented approach to defining and using colors and styles, instead of manually manipulating Scintilla property strings. Themes are still backwards compatible, as the underlying mechanisms are still in place.
2020-06-28Renamed `ui.bufstatusbar_text` to `ui.buffer_statusbar_text`.mitchell
2020-06-28Changed keybinding modifier keys.mitchell
They had always been a bit counter-intuitive.
2020-06-10Renamed some buffer/view fields to use American English instead of Australian.mitchell
This requires theme updates, primarily due to colour -> color.
2020-06-10Replaced `lfs.dir_foreach()` with `lfs.walk()` generator.mitchell
2020-06-09Prefer `view.call_tip_*` instead of `buffer.call_tip_*`.mitchell
2020-06-08Prefer `view.property*` instead of `buffer.property*`.mitchell
2020-06-05Renamed `buffer:set_theme()` to `view:set_theme()` and fixed a bug with splits.mitchell
Also improved separate themes-per-view functionality.
2020-05-25Allow views to be used as buffers and update API.mitchell
This allows for a superficial separation of buffer- and view-specific Scintilla functionality. buffers and views can now be used interchangeably for the most part, and the APIs are guidance, not hard requirements. User scripts do not require any modification and will continue to function normally.
2020-05-09Updated migration guide with lexer updates.mitchell
2020-04-05Updated curses compatibility.mitchell
2020-03-30Fixed off-by-one issues with `buffer:get_cur_line()`.mitchell
2020-03-29Removed old migration guides.mitchell
Previous guides are in prior releases and in revision history.
2020-03-26Switched to 1-based indices for buffer positions, lines, and countable entities.mitchell
2020-03-18Added `ui.dialogs.progressbar()` and utilize it with Find in Files.mitchell
2020-03-17Added per-mode command entry history.mitchell
2020-03-17Updated manual.mitchell
2020-03-17Added initial migration guide from Textadept 10 to 11.mitchell
2020-03-16Moved individual buffer functions in `io` into `buffer`.mitchell
e.g. `io.reload_buffer()` was renamed `buffer:reload()`.
2020-02-21Removed '_' mnemonics from locale keys.mitchell
Kept backward-compatibility for now.
2019-09-22Replaced `ui.command_entry.*_mode()` with simplified `ui.command_entry.run()`.mitchell
The command entry no longer uses named key modes. Instead, mode keys are supplied to `run()` if necessary. The command entry remains modal, though.
2019-07-30Fail more gracefully when attempting to create buffers on init.mitchell
2019-07-30Document the inability to create buffers during initialization.mitchell
2019-07-30Use CP1252 instead of ISO-8859-1.mitchell
CP1252 is a superset of ISO-8859-1.
2019-06-01GTK+ was renamed to GTK recently.mitchell
2018-11-27Added command line switch to jump to a buffer line.mitchell
This is more convenient than '-e "goto_line(n - 1)"'.
2018-11-01Updated manual and CHANGELOG.md.mitchell
2018-05-22Note lack of ability to search for newline characters in regexes.mitchell
2018-05-04Updated migration guide to note that `bit32` has been removed.mitchell

2018-03-25Removed call restriction on `buffer.set_theme()` and added initial `buffer` arg.mitchell
2018-03-19Clarified `M-` modifier key for the terminal version in the manual.mitchell
2018-03-12Start using Scintilla's LongTerm3, which now includes Scintillua and Scinterm.mitchell
Since LongTerm3 requires a C++11 compiler, GCC 4.9+ is required. Since C++11 includes regex capability, drop TRE dependency.
2018-02-24Terminal key sequence for Ctrl+Space is now 'c ' instead of 'c@'.mitchell
2018-02-16Save to the loaded session on quit and removed `default_session` option.mitchell
